About a month ago, I sent a PM to a member on this forum. After I hit the send button, I didn't see any message in my "Sent Items" folder. I figured that it didn't send, so I retyped my message and sent it again. I still didn't see anything in my "Sent Items" folder, so I just gave up. A day later, the member PM'ed me back, so I figured one of my PM's made it to him.

Fast forward to today, I replied to a PM I received and again, nothing in my "Sent Items" folder. I searched this forum and saw that someone said you have to turn on an option in the Control Panel for it to save sent messages.

I think that the "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default" option should be turned on by default. This is really confusing, especially when all the other forums I use have this turned on by default. I never even knew there was an option to turn this on or off until today. Come on, it should act just like email.
